mid town is city owned. the only such property in the city. true municipal housing right now existing in the heart of the fillmore. the only impedament to a resident lead future of mid town is the city itself. many of you may be familiar with the situation at mid town in 2020, this board voted approving an ordinance to provide rent stabilization to the long-term legacy tenants at mid town. some of whom received had we viewed as very unfair rent increases. that important step to redress rent increases that were as high as 300%. was always viewed by my office and by the residence denials in mid town as a step on a long-term path. motion before the committee is intended to commence the next step and to monopoly out long-term vision for mid town. one in which residents voices are centered this step is a long time coming. mid town existence owes itself to an explicit emission by the city the redevelopment era saw the mass displacement of the black community was a tremendous mistake. the 138 unit complex mid town was created to house western edition

the city couldn't do anything. that is the new deal that is the shining star, and all we do is -- but the city should now with the infrastructure bill invest in this. because the city needs to walk the walk. thank you very much. >> >> there are no other public commenters on the line. >> thank you very much. public comment is closed. >> thank you for being here today. >> next item. >> approval of draft meeting minutes (discussion and action item) >> commissioners, i hope you have had enough time to review the minutes. >> i don't know if this is a typo, the second sentence, it says abe, i don't know if it should say ape. >> noted. >> any other comments? >> seeing none. >> public comment is closed. >> >> commissioners, do we have motion? >> i make a motion to approve the draft minutes. >> [roll call] >> motion passes. >> general public comment (discussion item) >> is there any member of the public that would like to make comments not on the agenda? >> we have no commenters. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >>

it's the best interest of the city. you suffered some loss and this is a way to make sure that all parties in this contract get what they deserve and in this case we're saying, what was actually interesting to me though, what you just said, kind of fly for me based on what you said is that this contract and this condition and terms and condition may not still meet the demands of the services that we need as a city. because you have flack under me, what is the demand -- flack for me, what is the demand that the city requires and what's the gap between that and all the more reason i look forward to seeing the records, looking forward to seeing some assistance and analysis from bla and help us determine this further. if you say it's turnaround one business day, next week, i don't think we have a committee, maybe so it's perhaps a week after -- in the event, chair ronen is in agreement for continuance but that's kind of what i'm leaning toward, thank you, chair ronen. >> thank you. we can get -- we'll get that information t
